One Vision, Two Campuses
Just three miles apart, Serendipity School's San Mateo and Belmont campuses welcome students from age 2 through 5th grade. From the moment you arrive, it's clear how deeply we value the connection between learning and the natural world. Balance beam logs, gardens, fairy houses, Discovery Cove, abundant natural light, and expansive accordion doors invite students to explore, discover, and grow—inside and out. Architects call this biophilic design; we call it The Serendipity Experience.
San Mateo Campus (2s, 3s, and PreK)
Privately nestled in the San Mateo hills overlooking the San Francisco Bay, Serendipity Preschool is a warm and engaging early learning environment rich in child-driven discovery, curiosity, play, and learning. The preschool has a warm, friendly, “small school” feel. The campus is home to two separate learning buildings; a Lower-School for 2 and 3-year-old students and an Upper-School for Pre-Kindergarten learners. Classroom environments are open, inviting, and filled with manipulatives and tools that spark children’s interests. An intentionally-designed balance between prefabricated structures and natural elements, outdoor play is structured to allow children to express themselves in their varied languages: imagination, creation, art, drama, music, building, sharing, and caring. Simply, our environment speaks to children and they instantly see spaces designed for them

Belmont Campus (grades TK-5)
Nature is the true star of our 2.6-acre Belmont campus. Classrooms are open to the outdoors, where numerous spaces for outdoor learning, exploration and play await. The tree-lined playground offers ample space for running, climbing, sand play, ball play, jumping rope, and hula hooping. Students learn in the outdoor classroom, tend the greenhouse and gardens, and enjoy fruits and vegetables from both the gardens and various fruit trees. Children build forts and treehouses in the Clearing, explore and imagine at Discovery Cove, hike the nature trails, play and read in the meadow, and relax in the shade of beautiful pines, firs, oaks, and towering redwoods.
